8 is Ronaldo for sure.
Nelson

1) Maradona
2) Sir Bobby Charlton
3) Baggio
4) Zidane
5) Cruyff
6) Eusebio
7) Pele
8) Ronaldo (Fat one)

I have no idea about 8 actually, but I don't think its Owen b/c I doubt he qualifies as a "legend"
Brian

If #2 isn't Bobby Charlton, I will eat the photograph of Bobby Charlton that I'm almost certain #2 is.
Ak

mele419: can't you just see that baggio smirk!

You know what, though? I don't think 2 is Charlton: the eyes look too carefree happy for Charlton. Could it be Vogts?
A

Yeah, I think I'll change my mind too: 3 is not Owen but Baggio.

AK nice work on 6. It definitely looks like Eusebio.
mele419

there's no way 3 is baggio, i don't see it at all.
Ak

3 is definitely baggio. 2 rings a bell -- it might be bobby charlton. 6 looks like eusebio to me.
Brian

My God...that is Oscar from the The Office. Good call, Ian.
Ian Rose

Whoever #6 is, he looks more like Oscar from The Office than anyone. That's not my guess - I'm just saying.
Alex

I think #6 is Cobi Jones. He definitely fits Laurie's definition of 'legend' (164 caps and arguably the face of the US team's rise to respectability in the 90s).
SAL

1. Maradona
2. B.Charlton
3. Roberto Baggio
4. Zidane
5. Cruyff
6. V.Basten
7. Pele (Fifa Puppet)
8. Beckenbauer

i guess i spelled them right
:)
A

I choose Rummenigge as my second option for No.2.
mele419

yeah, I can't believe Cruijff slipped my mind! Definitely number 5!
Laurie

Rob: Not that I admit to anything this early in the game, but :-D
Rob

Good to see Johan Cruyff make a legends list. I could have guessed Zidane would be there without clicking in here :D
A

Maradona
Sammer
Owen
Zidane
Cruyff
Brian

#8 could be a young Michael Owen or it could be Rolando Fonseca, but I don't feel good about either answer.
Brian

To go along with Maradona, Zidane, and Pele:

#2 is Bobby Charlton.
Is #3 David Beckham?
#5 is Johan Cruyff.
SwissJan

5. Cruijff for sure.
sidhanth

1. maradona
2. sir bobby cgarlton
3. donadoni?
4. zidane
5. looks like crespo
6. for the sake of guessing rivaldo
7. pele
8. ronaldo (fat one)
Laurie

Damn, Sasha, you got it!

(Just kidding. Fyi.)
mele419

5 Baggio?
Sasha

2 Steve McClaren...haha
mele419

1 Maradona
4 Zidane
7 Pele

and that's all I've got.
